Remember in elementary, middle, and high school art class when the teacher would announce free draw? The room would go wild and the classroom would roar? Well, it’s here. For you. As an adult. This Saturday at Yours Truly from 3-5pm. Drop-in anytime to this free draw workshop with yourself or a friend and bring your own materials or nothing at all. Stay for 15 minutes or the whole two hours, its 100% up to you. The Self Care Studio will have a variety of materials to choose from if you don’t have your own and a selection of drawing and journaling prompts to help you not *overthink* the process if you get stuck. Participate in the studio's ongoing project, The Self Love Trading Cards Club, if you wish, or choose from a selection of coloring sheets if a total free draw isn’t your thing and you want to draw between some lines.

I’ll have some music in the background and an aromatherapy room diffuser going to make the vibes extra cozy.

$3-5 suggested donation if you are able, no one turned away!

The Self Care Studio is a platform that illuminates the practice of self-care techniques through a variety of mediums. The studio’s online presence shares daily positive reminders in our social media-driven culture. By posting illustrations and texts the studio aims to promote self-kindness in times of healing, radical self-forgiveness, and prioritizing ourselves with mantras such as “self-care is not selfish.” The Self Care Studio also exists in the physical world as a pop-up shop. It sells self-care merchandise and facilitates workshops that provide a variety of hands-on sensory projects that encourage us to carve out time for ourselves by slowing down in the present moment. The Self Care Studio is a project of Milwaukee-based artist and author, Jenna Knapp.
